Any one who can send in good used playing cards for the men in these hospitals is asked to do so. Leave them at the Red Cross rooms and the will be sent to Divisional Office for distribution. Demonstrating what the work of the Red Cross can be in emergency and disaster, in war or peace, was the recent tragic railway wreck at Almonte on Christmas night. The Canadian Pacific Railway at Smith Falls asked the Red Cross for help, and four doctors and five emergency nurses boarded an' auxiliary train which left in less than an hour for the accident, taking of thea t g 12 stret- chers, the entire available supply of splints and First Aid equipment. At the time the Red Cross, rescue party left it was expected that many of the injured would be brought to Smith Falls hospital, and 30 beds were made ready in a couple of hours. Smith Falls branch made arrange- ments for an emergency hospital, if needed. Actually all the casualties were taken to Ottawa, but the inci- dent proves the value of setting up these committees and of making ade- quate preparations in the event of such disaster.
